Would you like to become a Junior Ranger? Once you arrive at the park stop by the Visitor Center to ask for a free Junior Ranger Activity Booklet. Complete the activities described in the book; required activities include attending a ranger-led program, interviewing a park ranger, and completing activity pages.

We are always happy to add another name to our Junior Ranger team. We invite YOU to become a member of this very special group of people.
